Orangeburg Collegiate InstUtute.
rte baptist Press has the following
t6 say of an iistitution over which i
Newvberry man, Prof. W. S. Peterson
presides with so much success:
South of the Atlantic Cost Litc
rail-roId rililling from Colimbia tc
Charleston and east of the Southern1
from Columbia to Augusta lies the
territory of about a dozen counties. Ii
this territory live about one-fourtl
of the Baptists of the entire State.
The two largest towns in this part of
the State are Aiken and Orangeburg,
Charleston excepted.
The people for the most part arc
farmers, and of recent years have not
enjoyed a great amount of this
world's goods. But for their genuine
worth-their love of home and church
-they are not excelled anywhere on
earth. They are the embodiment of
hospitality. Man- pf them would
divide his last dollar with a needy
friend.
Recent years have noted a great
change in all this part of the State.
It is gradually becoming one of the
finest trucking sections in this coun
try. The fine price received for pro
duce of all kinds has amounted to
thouands of dollars to our people,
and they are now for the most part in
easy cireustances, with a bright fu
ture before them.
Within this vast territory some
points of interest not known by all
our people should be noted. For in
stance, here we have the greatest sin
gle express office in Aenirica, that of
Megget's in Colleton county. It is
lie larzest cabbage shipping point
said to he in the world. The largest
Irish potota shipping point. 11d then
we have within this territory the lar
-est aspar.l'agus shipping point, if not
tle largest cantaloupe shipping point,
and1l it is -radtiallv becoming one of
ie flinest sections in the State in cot
ton raisin"-. Lands have advanced

else in the world canl produce.
The only drawback that seems to be
in the way ot the greatest possible
tlevelopment is the lack of needed
educational advantages. Very true it
is, ouir rural schools have been greatly
improved within the last few years;
sessions having advanced from three
and four months to six and nine
1olntls, yet, the fact remains that
the schools must be greatly improved
before t,he necessary efficiency shall
le attained unto.
Orangeburg Codlegiate Institute.
Within all of this territory in which
live posibly thirty thousand Baptists
there is one single Baptists high school
hlat of the Orangeburg Collegiate in
stitute. While it was established sev
eral year's ago it has livedi varying
sucesses, and14 the tact still remains
that very few of our11 Bap)tists lboys

His friends criticised him because
they thoughlt that hie hlad undertaken

fidently expects to open school this
year withI a larger number of boarders
tha' he enrolled for the entire session
last year. Success it nIot a marvel:
it is reached by one who believes in
the cause he repr'esents. Prof. Peter
son believes that great good for
Orangeburg as well as for otheor parts
of the State can be accomplished by
this great canse which he repr'esetlts.

eolleges and uniliversities in this coun
try. A fine milsie department, art
departient, cooking and sewing de
paIrtlent. and in fact everything in a
mio(erI and up-to-d1a te school is found
hre.
Ti heathii of the school cannot be
be surpassed. The buildings are well
kept. lighted by electricity, supplied
with eity water, and a partial sewer
age system which is being greatly im
proved; there are being extensive im
provements made on the buildings.
More new dormitories are being put
up, and if the money were in hand, to
put up the necessary buildings and
equip them, there is no telling the
number of students that might be en
rolled. Oh, that some moneyed man
would open his heart and furnish the
necessary funds!
I have had a talk recently with Prof
Peterson, who is more determined
than ever that thoroughness shall
characterize the work done. Many of
the boys and girls in this part of the
State can never expect to attend col
lege. His object is to send them out
into life prepared to meet its strug
,gles.
One of the best advertisments that
comes to the ears of a traveller
throug~h this part of the state is from
the students who attend the school.
eSuch perfect confidence have they in
ithe advantage and strength of the
place that they become individually

One thing that I probably should
not mention at this point is that so
few of our young people from this
portion of the State attend Furman
university and Greenville Female col

that they have never had the oppor

the necessity for a college education

our sorrows, woes, disappointments
and failures are but results of our own
or some one 's mistakes. Then, from
the fact that we are human, deduces
the reason of our troubles. If we
were perfect and made no mistakes,
then there would be no trouble; but,
if such were the case we should be
gods and not men. Trouble is a natur
al consequence for human action. The
laws of God and nature are immutable
and because they are, a corresponding
result folows every cause, both good
and bad. No act is committed with
out a correspondiug re-action, and
the quality of the act determines the
quality of the reaction. The third
rule in Newton's three laws of motion
may here be applied, together with
" whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap.Y'
Then all who are human must have
some troubles; we all are human;
therefore, we all must have trouble
in some form. Let us accept the fact,
ii-t borrow trouble or run ahead to
miieet it but reserve all our strength
to oppose it when it comes. One day's ,
